Sañña, remembering, perceiving...
Once Atma had been in Preah Vihear, old villager told that in the old there had been a "Brang" couple, he always riding a water-buffalo and she always riding a hourse.
People asking Atma if he would accept a buffalo, where told that in short there would be no more land to feed buffaloes, and a year later, like here, all had been sold away.
As told, there is a bull around here, especially at night, but a very physical (althought as well never seen when near, just hearing his laud voice) and rebellion, not follow his owner (the one leg wood cutter) at all, seeking for female everywhere.
Many of the older villager are natives, Sui tribe, and voodoo is total common everywhere in mountain and forest area. The other half are former Khmer Rouge soldiers, and some Vietnamese settler. The rest are just land trader, hire, cut, sell, come and go. It's Naga-land, and of course do those without any virtue experience all kind of things, are haunted and hunt, cast away and being cased away. Forest means resistance next animal realm.
So much better to focus on metta and breath. No way to point out a way upwardly and not leaded toward conductive rituals: Sila, just out of faith.
Just told Bhante: "In only short most will be used as soldiers again, there or there, where ever demand arises, for those with money for such." At corona times the monkey had been caught here and sold out out. What ever demanded, this lands can provide, indebted on all sides.
All around strong smog, not even seeing till Aural mountain, hard to breath and all around hot and dry skin.
All perfect to develop disenchantment and Saddha (surrender, giving up the world and it's stupidity everywhere).
